A sad day - #MichaelMosley has been found dead after going missing four days ago on the #Greek island of #Symi.

For all that, though his life was short, it was never dull:

A Japanese research group has said that it became the world's first to succeed in producing regulatory T cells, which suppress excessive immune responses, from human iPS cells. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/07/japan/science-health/ips-cells-immune-control/ #japan #sciencehealth #ips #kyotouniversity #medicine #transplants #drugs

Maybe it would be a good idea not to get COVID?! I’m still wearing at least a KN95 mask in public and I don’t remove my mask in public, but I’m usually the only person (article free to read.) https://wapo.st/3Kvhb9d

This is a long and detailed read hoping to clear up the idea that COVID-19 was caused by a lab leak whilst researchers were testing gain-of-function methodologies in a Wuhan lab, a leading conspiracy theory. You don’t need to be a scientist to understand it, but you do need to pay attention to get through it. Well worth your time, however. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/gain-of-function-research-covid-19/

How hard is it to stop taking #antidepressants? Amid often emotional discussion, existing studies are unclear. A meta-analysis from #CharitéBerlin & @UniKoeln now gives the most thorough answer to date as to how common discontinuation symptoms really are.

@thejapantimes good to hear it. Because a man in Mexico just died of H5N2 and no one knows how he got it. We are going to need treatments that work.

Knee 'plug' simplifies surgery and recovery

'Damage to knee cartilage and bone can limit mobility and cause chronic pain. Now, researchers have developed an off-the-shelf synthetic ‘plug’ that heals the joint and could be an alternative to current treatments like total knee replacement surgery'

Ms Burke spent much of her teen years suffering sharp pains in her left arm and chest. By college, she would pass out from severe dizziness.

'I spent over a year trying to find a proper diagnosis. I went undiagnosed due to my age, gender, and lack of familial history with heart issues.'

Studies have long suggested that women's heart problems are far less likely to be detected than mens', because of doctors' assumptions about the typical heart patient.

θύμον (thúmon) in Ancient Greek refers to thyme. Same as French "thym," oe Swedish "timjan." Some suggest that it comes from a pre-Greek word that simply refers to the plant. However, others proposed something interesting: what if it derives from θύω (thúō), meaning "to smoke"? Thyme has been burned to release its esences into the air since antiquity. It could be.
